The recognition was bestowed upon NTPC Bongaigaon for its CSR project that benefited over 70,000 people in rural areas of Kokrajhar district through community-based cancer screening and awareness programmes. The initiative focused on early detection of oral, breast, and cervical cancers, along with extensive outreach campaigns promoting health awareness among rural communities.

The award was presented by Ms. Vimala R, IAS, Resident Commissioner and Secretary, Government of Maharashtra, and Ms. Nikky Gupta, Founder of Teamwork Communications, at a ceremony held recently in New Delhi. Shri Shubham Pandey, Assistant Law Officer, NTPC Bongaigaon, received the honour on behalf of the 750 MW power station.

This prestigious accolade reaffirms NTPC Bongaigaon’s unwavering commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its focus on improving healthcare access, preventive care, and quality of life in rural communities. The station’s healthcare interventions — including cancer screening, maternal and child health programmes, and strengthening of local medical infrastructure — continue to form a vital part of its long-term vision for holistic community development.

The ₹33 lakh project will provide preventive and diagnostic cancer care to nearly 81,000 people across multiple villages, ensuring last-mile outreach through four Block Primary Health Centres (BPHCs) and around 80 Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs). The initiative focuses on early detection of oral, breast, and cervical cancers, along with awareness programmes and home-based palliative care.

The MoA was signed by Amit Asthana, AGM (HR), NTPC Bongaigaon, and Dr. Major General J. P. Prasad, COO, ACCF, in the presence of Arnab Maitra, Head of Project, NTPC Bongaigaon, who lauded ACCF’s work in promoting cancer prevention and treatment across Assam.

This year-long project, funded for the second consecutive year, will also link diagnosed patients with government health schemes for cashless or reimbursable treatment, thereby reducing financial stress on families.

The initiative aligns with Schedule VII (i) of the Companies Act, 2013, and contributes to SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), reinforcing NTPC’s commitment to sustainable community development.

It is noteworthy that the Assam Cancer Care Foundation—a joint venture between the Government of Assam and Tata Trusts—has been pioneering a three-tier cancer grid model since 2017 to provide standardized, affordable, and accessible cancer care across the state.
